Mayra Sotelo
Hello and welcome, My name is Mayra, and I am currently accepting new clients for therapy.
I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker, fluent in English and Spanish, with over 17 years of experience in the mental health field.
I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker, fluent in English and Spanish, with over 17 years of experience in the mental health field. I provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and life challenges. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, communication struggles, divorce, life transitions, stress, and grief. Together, we will identify patterns, build effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. I am passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and discover strategies that promote healing, resilience, and emotional well-being. My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. I deeply value each person’s unique story and tailor therapy to meet your specific needs, strengths, and goals. Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming or intimidating, but you do not have to face it alone. Taking the first step is often the hardest, yet it can also be the start of meaningful transformation. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey toward healing and growth. — Mayra
First session
During our first session, my primary goal is to help you feel comfortable and supported as we begin to build a therapeutic relationship. The first session is just the beginning of a journey we’ll take together and you’re not expected to figure everything out in one meeting. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
Strengths
I believe one of my greatest strengths is my ability to genuinely connect with my clients. I bring warmth, authenticity, and appropriate humor into the therapy space to help clients feel comfortable and at ease. As someone who has also been on my own therapy journey, I deeply understand the courage it takes to seek support. This personal insight allows me to approach my work with empathy, humility, and compassion.
Ideal clients
I am passionate about helping individuals overcome challenges, build resilience, and achieve their personal goals. I am fully committed to providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where my clients feel empowered to grow and thrive.
